Exam Practice ENGR 120 Fall 2007 Note: This practice exam is similar in format to what you can expect for your first exam in this class. Do not assume that this practice exam represents every type of problem that you may see on your exam, or that the percentage values for each set of problems on this exam will be the same as those on your exam. Part I. Written Exam This part of the exam is closed book, closed notes. You may use a calculator. You may write ONLY on this exam. Fill in the Blank (30 points; 6 points each). Write the most correct answer in the blank. You should not show your work. 1. A resistor with color markings of blue-green-red has an approximate resistance of 6500 ohms. (Note to students: If a resistor color code chart is needed, it will be provided. You do NOT need to memorize the resistor color codes. Blue = 6; green = 5; and red = 2. The resistor therefore = 65 x 102 ohms, or 6500 ohms.) 2. A conductor easily lets go of its valence electrons. 3. To stop the servo motor on the Boe-Bot from turning, you should program the Boe-Bot to send a pulse width of 1.5 ms. (Note to students: a pulse of 1.5 ms is equivalent to sending a duration of 750 with the PULSOUT command, where the duration of 750 is multiplied by 2 s to get 1500 s or 1.5 ms.) 4. When you want a formula in EXCEL to refer to a specific cell, you must either give the cell (a name) (text inadvertently left off the exam) or use absolute addressing. 5. The number 101011102 is equivalent to what base-10, or decimal number? 174. The binary number is = 1x27 + 0x26 + 1x25 + 0x24 + 1x23 + 1x22 + 1x21 + 0x21 = 128 + 32 +8 + 4 + 2 = 174. Multiple Choice (30 points; 5 points each). Circle the best answer for each question. You should not show your work. Referring to Figure 1, answer questions 1-4: R2 Vs R1 R3 R4 Figure 1. Circuit diagram for Multiple Choice Questions 1-4. 1. The resistors that are in parallel with each other are: (a) R2 and R4 (No; R2 is not connected directly with R4 at each end of the resistor, even though the figure is drawn to make them look like they are in parallel.) (b) R1 and R3 (No; R1 is not connected directly with R3 at each end of the resistor, even though the figure is drawn to make them look like they are in parallel.) (c) Both R2 and R4 along with R1 and R3 (No, for the same reasons that (a) and (b) are wrong.) (d) R1 and (R2 + R3 + R4) (Yes, because R2 , R3 , and R4 are in series and can be combined into a single equivalent resistor that then would be connected to R1 at both ends of the resistors.) (e) None of the above (No, because (d) is correct.) 2. The voltage drop across R1 = (a) Vs (Yes, by Kirchoff s Voltage Law) (b) R1 times the current through R1 (Yes, by Ohm s Law) (Note: the original test incorrectly had this answer as R2 times the current through R2) (c) The sum of the voltage drops across R2, R3, and R4 (Yes, by Kirchoff s Voltage Law.) (d) None of the above (No, because at least one answer was correct.) (e) Answers (a), (b), and (c) (Yes) 3. If Req = 100 and Vs = 10V, the current leaving the voltage source must be (a) 1000A (No. Be careful not to get confused; Ohm s Law states that V = I*R, so I = V/R) (b) 1000W (No; wrong units) (c) 0.1A (Yes, because by Ohm s Law I = V/R = 10V / 100 ) (d) 0.1W (No, because W is the unit for power) (e) None of the above (No, because (c) is true.) 4. If Vs = 5V, the current through R1 = 1A and the current through R3 = 2A, then (a) The current leaving the voltage source = 3A (Yes, by Kirchoff s Current (b) Law) The current through R2 = 2A (Yes, because R2 and R3 are in series.) (c) The power generated by the voltage source = 5W (No, because from (a) we know that the current leaving the voltage source = 3A, and P = V*I = 5V * 3A = 15W) (d) The power generated by the voltage source = 15W (Yes; see explanation for (c)) (e) None of the above (obviously incorrect) (f) Answers (a), (b), and (d) (Yes, from explanation above) (g) Answers (b) and (c) (No; only 1 of the 2 answers is correct.) Referring to Figure 2, answer questions 5 6: Figure 2. Circuit Diagram for Multiple Choice Questions 5-6 5. R1 and R2 are: (a) in series (b) in parallel (Yes, because the resistors are connected directly together at both ends.) (c) neither (a) nor (b) (d) both (a) and (b) 6. R8 and R9 are: (a) in series (Yes, because as current travels through R8 it has no choice but to travel through R9) (b) in parallel (c) neither (a) nor (b) (d) both (a) and (b) Work-Out Problem (10 points). For the following problem, SHOW ALL WORK. Present your solution using the engineering format. You may want to write a draft solution on the back of the exam, and then write your solution neatly in the space provided. Figure for Work-Out Problem Given that Vdd = 5V, R1 = 100 , R2 = 50 , and R3 = 150 , find (a) I; and (b) The total power generated by Vdd Part II. Computer Exam (30 points; 10 points each). For this part of the exam, you must use your computer. You may not refer to old MathCAD or EXCEL worksheets; however, for the programming question you may refer to programs you have written. After you complete each problem, show your work to the instructor so that he or she can write notes on how well you completed each part. 1. Develop a MathCAD worksheet that will convert a set of values from to F C. The range of values for should be 0 to 100 in increments of 10 Plot the F . values in a graph with proper engineering format. Instructor code: ___________________________________ Note to students: The solution was developed in MathCAD 2001i, which has fewer options for formatting graphs. 2. Write a Boe-Bot program that will produce a set of tones each time the instructor presses a whisker. The tones should follow the same pattern each time: On for a quarter-second, off for a half-second, and on for a half-second. Each time the whisker is pressed, the frequency of the first tone should be 2000Hz and the frequency for the second tone should be 2500Hz. Instructor code: ___________________________________ ' {$STAMP BS2} ' {$PBASIC 2.5} ' Note: This program assumes that the speaker is connected to Pin 3 ' and the whiskers are connected to Pins 5 and 7. DO IF (IN5 = 0) OR (IN7 = 0) THEN FREQOUT 3, 250, 2000 PAUSE 500 FREQOUT 3, 500, 2500 ENDIF LOOP END 3. Develop a spreadsheet that creates a table of values of the sine and the cosine of an angle. The angles should range from 0 to 360 in increments of 10 Format the table by showing units in the headings for each column, . bolding the headers, and formatting the numbers in the sine and cosine columns to show 3 decimal places to the right of the decimal point. Plot both the sine and cosine against the angle. Be sure to format the graph with proper engineering format. Instructor code: ___________________________________ Here is a partial list of the table of values from the EXCEL spreadsheet: Angle ( ) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Sine 0.000 0.174 0.342 0.500 0.643 0.766 0.866 0.940 0.985 1.000 Cosine 1.000 0.985 0.940 0.866 0.766 0.643 0.500 0.342 0.174 0.000
